Every time we think of the Net of Light, smile at a child, change our thoughts from negative to positive, or make an act of healing, compassion or kindness, we bring more light to the world. The small things often make much more of a difference than the big things.

Today, enjoy the small things and honor them. Honor how you bring light to the world today.

“There is more love now.” – The Grandmothers via Sharon McErlane in Our Love is Our Power, around p. 293

Today we got together in our little Grandmothers group. I had the honor of welcoming another Beacon, together with someone who has been shining her light for some time in our group. It was lovely and the work we did with the Net of Light was so powerful, I needed to take some time to recover once I got home.

So if you don’t have a group to attend where you live, find one or start one! Don’t wait, and don’t wait for the perfect Beacon or the perfect group. Doing this work in a group – even a small one like ours – is so much more powerful than doing it on your own.

As soon as I read these words – “there is more love now” – I thought, “They are right. I feel it too, and I see it happening around me.” I feel more love for my family members and even my pets. Today I had a very good reason to get furious with my little daughter. But instead of fury, what happened was yin power through and through. I stayed completely calm, I didn’t even feel very angry at all (!) and I found myself just looking at the situation with a clear perspective and a heart full of love and concern. What a wonderful way to resolve a conflict. The clincher was that she taught herself a very important lesson while I was doing nothing other than being the container.

Today, if you feel bad or angry, first stop and make a connection to the Grandmothers and the Net of Light. Remember that wonderful feeling when the Grandmothers hold you, put you in a warm mud bath, or cover you with their wings. Try to remember that feeling and to stay in it, regardless of the external stimuli. This takes practice so keep trying – the trying is worthwhile on its own.

“What looks barren holds the seed of exceptional fertility. … What looks wrong carries the seed of good within itself. … There is no danger at this time, not for the earth nor for you.” – The Grandmothers via Sharon McErlane in A Call to Power, around p. 123

From a personal level to a global level, crises are everywhere. Sometimes we need to be shaken awake. This personal-global shakeup, the Grandmothers tell us, are the symptoms of yin and yang rearranging themselves.

We need to stay awake and do our work, but we need not worry. It is our role to play midwife to a new way, a more peaceful and harmonious way of life – within our homes and families, and around the world as well.

“You can’t be good, nor can you be loving, by trying to be, but when you open yourself to his/her presence, you are loving and you are good. You are all of that and more. It happens automatically.” – The Grandmothers via Sharon McErlane in Our Love is Our Power, around p. 175

“Stop trying so hard”, the Grandmothers are telling us. Just go inward and BE with the Divine. Then let the rest unfold.

Yesterday I was trying hard to “be good” and “look good” and “keep everything under control”. How exhausting and frustrating! All that gave me was an uptight and angry feeling. When I ignored the stressful situation, went inside, contacted the Grandmothers and the Net of Light, I could feel my body relaxing and I started enjoying myself again. Then the love started flowing and, ironically, me and everything else was more “under control” than when I was trying to keep it under control.

These Daily Obsessions are like a vitamin for the soul. Take one daily for obsessive worrying and criticizing. The Grandmothers are but one face of the Divine; substitute another if you prefer. The commentary to this Daily Obsession is only in English (sorry Nederlandstaligen!).

“During your recent trip…you anchored the Net wherever you came. … You anchored the Net. Share this information. Everyone must hear this, because every person who calls on us, does the same. They too anchor the Net of Licht and they must realize this. Wherever you are, at home or in a foreign country, whenever you call on the Divine, feel our love for you and/or let that love flow through to others, you anchor the Net of Licht. At that very moment you bless the Earth….” – The Grandmothers via Sharon McErlane in Our Love is Our Power, p. 278

Church bells, rung by hand, are clanging across the street behind me as I sit in a little café to write these words. I smile and give a friendly “Bonjour” to a lady staring at me. I think to myself, “Ha, I just anchored the Net of Light here without even trying.” Whenever I have had the opportunity to step into a church or a chapel, before taking a little hike with our kids or while walking through a mideval village, I have paused briefly to think of the Net of Light and visualize it being anchored into the ground of wherever we find ourselves.

Whenever the close quarters, long drives and relentless heat make one of us edgy and irritable, I call on the Grandmothers and the Net of Light to bring calm and peace to our little family. It doesn’t always work immediately, but as our vacation progresses we are all finding more and more calm and more and more laughter. Even my husband is suggesting that we pop into the churches we pass on our way for a moment of cool and calm. Peace and the Net of Light are clearly contaigious.

We climbed recently to a mountaintop. Up there I got a taste of what the Grandmothers mean by following the straight path that passes above the labyrinth. I looked down at the tops of the umbrellas covering the tourist restaurant’s terrace sitting far below the steep path up to this three-star panoramic view. On one side of the mountaintop, the cows were small like Lego figurines; another side was only populated by trees and a small ribbon of asphalt. I thought to myself, “It’s all a matter of perspective. From the ground, I can’t see the bees and insects busily making a living between these mountaintop flowers – but to them, these flowers are a matter of life and death. From up here, each person is but a dot, but from their perspective, their little family squabbles and the taste of their ice cream or beer means a great deal to them.” I promised myself to try to remember this mountaintop perspective the next time I started to take my everyday irritations and temptations too seriously. Even remembering it now makes me breathe deeply.

Today, visit a mountaintop in your mind, one with a 360° view. This is the view of the Grandmothers. It is important to come here regularly, and just like Jesus did, it is equally important to come down from the mountaintop too. When we bring the mountaintop view to our pedestrian lives, we become a blessing for the Earth.

“Your heart makes the decision to generate love. This is then pumped into the world via the strands of the Net. Then your eyes, ears and breath bring you the gift of the returning light. … Light returns to you via your senses, because that is how people receive. This is how you know that something is real.” – The Grandmothers via Sharon McErlane in A Call to Power, in the meditation on the Net of Light at the end of the book

I must admit, I have been forgetting to meditate on the Net of Light lately. But I haven’t been forgetting the importance of love. Loving is our only true work: remembering to love, and to cast the Net of Light, at every opportunity. Evil does exist here on Planet Earth, and it has a place here. Our biggest task is to remember to love in the face of evil; to love in the face of conflict; to love in the face of fear.

And with those words, I leave to go on holiday. I have no idea what kind of internet access I will have while away, so I can say that I certainly hope to continue to post here between now and August 5, but I may not be able to as much as I want. We’ll see!

“You must be willing to become a woman in order to do this work. ‘Yes,’ I nodded understandingly. Opening to the consciousness of the vat is no task for a little girl.” – The Grandmothers and Sharon McErlane in Our Love is Our Power, around p. 47

Expanding one’s consciousness to universal proportions, rising above and going beyond the limitations of earthly experience…this calls for maturity. The work that the Grandmothers call us to do involves nothing less than understanding the deep creative force of the universe and uniting ourselves with that force. This is not child’s play.

It is essential that we not allow ourselves to be distracted. This applies to our everyday actions, our everyday choices. There is always someone ready to pull us into an irrelevant argument, there is always a work-task that seems terribly important to finish or to do as perfectly as we can, and then there is the endless circus of earthly entertainment and temptations that – maybe just for a minute or for an hour – might salve the essential wound of being separated from the Oneness.

It can be painful to remember where we come from and how good it feels to be with God. Painful because we are saddled with a body, an ego, a human history. But we came here now to BE here now, not to run off and play like little girls with no understanding of the bigger picture.

Today, refocus your attention on the Net of Light. Open your heart and take your place on the Net of Light. Call on the Grandmothers and ask for guidance of how better to do their work. Every time you remember the Divine and think of the Net of Light, yin and yang come just a bit more into balance. “There is no more important work than this,” say the Grandmothers.

Golden Eagle Feather

Golden eagle feathers are used in Native American ceremonies. The Grandmothers gave me the name "Golden Eagle Feather" before I knew anything about golden eagles. I'm growing into the name slowly. I offer my words here to anyone seeking love, rest and connection to the Divine.
